Thunderbirds or Sea Eagles?

 

Thunderbirds in Scotland?

Farmer claims sea eagles snatched his five Shetland pony foals

A farmer from South Uist claims sea eagles are behind the disappearance of five Shetland pony foals from his hillside croft.

Donald John Cameron said they vanished without a trace over a nine-week period between May and July, and that he has often seen the birds of prey circling his animals.

Sea eagles, also known as white-tailed eagles, are known to attack livestock and farmers claim to have seen them carrying lambs away.

However, the National Centre for Birds of Prey believed it was "most unlikely" that sea eagles would be capable of flying off with a foal.

Scotland's nature agency NatureScot said that while there was "no direct evidence" the birds were responsible, they would be "analysing prey remains from sea eagle nests" on the island.

So if a sea eagle isn’t the culprit could it be a legendary thunderbird? Thunderbirds are believed to be prehistoric survivors  such as Pterosaurs, flying lizards .Some grew to huge sizes. There continues to be sightings to this day .See below for more information. Could thunderbirds still be around, what do you think?
